Testing the Invariance of the Speed of Light by Means of Astrometric Data

Authors: Attilio Colombo

A test case aiming to validate the relativistic velocity composition rule on the basis of high-accuracy astrometric observation data is presented. The test exploits the phenomenon of the aberration of the light coming from celestial objects due to the motion of the observer. In particular, it is based on the analysis of the results obtained by applying both the relativistic velocity composition rule and the classical vector sum to calculate the un-aberrated position of the celestial objects from a series of repeated observations of the same object in the course of time.
